"新戏从来话旧事”一句话非但不指向新生反而给大陆电影下了死刑判决仿佛第五代的阴霾还不够窒息第五代的叛变不够近在眼前仿佛重写历史仍然是唯一的出路而我们的观众又究竟要沉迷于陈旧的集体叙事沉迷于咀嚼和反刍一成不变的窝囊到几时导演的风格无疑是成熟且自洽的但或许正是因为太自洽了他和自己的世界一样一劳永逸地活在了阴间不需要质疑自己在说什么拍到了什么他的人物又意味着什么:场面调度成了唯一的内容但可供调度的素材又是几乎不存在的因为从一开始这就是一个人的游戏 A New Old Play演的究竟是什么戏一个中国文人一脉相承的春秋大梦:想用一个集体叙事盖过另一个长歌行最终发现无非还是同一个
Hamlet里的小人物 大量关于死亡和命运的讨论 // We must be born with an intuition of mortality. Before we know the words for it, before we know that there are words, out we come, bloodied and squalling with the knowledge that for all the compasses in the world, there's only one direction, and time is its only measure. // Uncertainty is the normal state...Everything has to be taken on trust; truth is only that which is taken to be true. It's the currency of living. There may be nothing behind it, but it doesn't make any difference so long as it is honored. // Death is the absence of presence, nothing more // since we don't know what death is, it is illogical to fear it
